The installation itself was great, and clearly loved by many. The effort that went into make it, and the attention to detail was fabulous. That said, it's placement in the 3 o'clock plaza sucked. This should have been placed in the playa. It would have been experienced by more people there, and less annoying to those camped in the plaza. -32dB earplugs were no match for the tock tock tock tock.. tock.. tock... tock... tock....... tock...... tock....... of the roulette wheel.

You set your camp in the middle of a freeway What the hell were you thinking.

I thought Georgie Boy was wonderful, randomly stumbling up to it made me feel giddy like a school girl and I even had to clap my hands with excitement! Maybe the placement was off for some people, but I am glad it is where it was for I may not have seen it otherwise.

Thanks to everyone who posted here. The Georgie Boy crew and I appreciated both the positive words of support as well as the more negative insights. Yes, I fucked with you, dear neighbors. There are hours of expected slumber you will never in your life have back and for this I beat my chest and sing my shame between quiet snickers of delight.

DEATH OF A SHOW QUEENIt is with a soaring yet sorrowful heart that I share with you the news of Georgie Boy's final demise. Last Sunday, we took crow bars and sledge hammers to his shabby abode, spending $38 for his final resting place in a Nevada land fill. Rest in peace, fallen star... How we wonder what you are.
